What it does

Watches the work-order log for failures on assets flagged as life-safety or business-critical (elevators, boilers, fire panels) and immediately escalates them, bypassing normal queues.

When to use it

Use it for buildings where certain asset outages carry tight response SLAs and can't wait for someone to notice a Trello board. It guarantees a human is paged the moment a critical request lands, day or night.

How it works

  1. 1The flow triggers on a new Airtable work-order row.
  2. 2A branch checks the asset's criticality flag and severity; non-critical rows exit early.
  3. 3For critical failures, a PagerDuty incident is opened with the asset, building, and reported fault.
  4. 4A high-priority Trello card is created and pinned to the top of the emergency board.
  5. 5A summary with the incident link and SLA clock is posted to the facilities Slack channel.
